The Add-Ons

Nail Trim/Filing

Nail Trimming & Filing – Keeping Paws Healthy and Comfortable

Long nails can make walking uncomfortable for your dog and even affect how they move. Our gentle nail trimming and filing service keeps their paws tidy, balanced, and pain-free.

What’s Included

We use calm handling and professional tools to:

• Trim nails safely and to a comfortable length

• Smooth rough edges with gentle filing

• Check paw pads for cracks or irritation

• Offer breaks and reassurance for nervous dogs

Appointments are quick, kind, and always one-to-one

Why It Matters

Overgrown nails can cause pressure on the joints and make walking awkward. Regular trimming prevents that and helps your dog stay active and comfortable, especially for older dogs or those who spend more time indoors.

This service can be added to a full groom or booked as a standalone appointment.

Anal Gland Expression

Anal Gland Expression – Gentle Care for Your Dog’s Comfort

If your dog has been scooting, licking, or seeming uncomfortable around their back end, it could be time for an anal gland check. It’s a simple, quick procedure that helps relieve pressure and keep them feeling comfortable.

What’s Included

Our service includes:

• A gentle, external manual expression of the glands

• A check for signs of swelling or irritation

• Calm handling throughout, keeping stress to a minimum

• Advice if we think a vet visit might be needed

We only carry out this service when necessary, and always with your dog’s wellbeing as the priority.

Why It Matters

Anal gland issues are common and can become painful if left untreated. Regular checks and maintenance help prevent infections, discomfort, and those tell tale “bum scoots” across the carpet

This service can be added to a full groom or booked as a standalone appointment.

Ear Plucking

Ear Plucking – Gentle Care for Clean, Comfortable Ears

Some breeds naturally grow excess hair inside their ear canals, which can trap dirt, wax, and moisture. Our ear plucking service gently removes that hair to help keep ears clean, clear, and healthy.

What’s Included

During your dog’s appointment we:

• Carefully remove excess hair from the ear canal

• Clean the outer ear using a gentle, dog-safe ear cleaner

• Check for redness, discharge, or odour that could indicate infection

• Handle every dog with patience and care to avoid discomfort

Why It Matters

Excess ear hair can block airflow and lead to wax build-up or infections, especially in breeds like Poodles, Cockapoos, and Schnauzers.
Regular ear plucking helps prevent irritation and keeps ears fresh and healthy.

If we ever spot anything unusual, we’ll let you know right away and recommend a vet check if needed.

This service can be added to a full groom or booked as a standalone appointment.

Spa Treatments

Spa Treatments – Because Every Dog Deserves a Little Luxury

Our spa treatments are designed to add that extra touch of care and relaxation to your dog’s grooming routine. They soothe the skin, condition the coat, and turn an ordinary groom into a spa experience.

What’s Included

We offer a range of gentle, dog-safe spa add-ons, including:

• Deep coat conditioning treatments for softness and shine

• Soothing paw and nose balm for dry or cracked pads

• De-shedding and coat-refresh sprays

• Aromatherapy shampoo upgrades for sensitive or dry skin

Each treatment is chosen to suit your dog’s coat type, skin needs, and temperament.

Why It Matters

Spa extras aren’t just about looking good, they help with comfort, skin health, and relaxation. Regular coat conditioning can reduce shedding and itching, while paw and facial treatments keep sensitive areas clean and hydrated.
